postgis 1.4 is really old!

Asked by Matt Wilson

There's a lot of neat stuff in the 1.5 release of postgis. Any chance to get that released?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstabl; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Thanks! I did all that, and now I've got the 1.5 version of postgis, but I can't find the postgis.sql file that I need to run on my database.

There's a package postgresql-8.4-postgis that contains that postgis.sql file, but I'm not sure if I should use that.
